67 grille parking lights

Post by davbell22602 »

I have a parking light housing that wont come out unless i cut the flat head screws with bolts cutters. The flat head part inside the housing turns. I thought about replacing them stainless steel bolts. Any other ideas

there might be a little hex screw on the back that you need to hold onto while trying to loosen the housing( better done with grille off)

Already been through that. The grille is off. The bolts look like nails with threads.

put soem sort of rubber washer around the new bolt before you put it throught the housing. that may help keep moisture out of the socket.
